ICEfaces is an Enterprise AJAX framework which allows you to develop modern Web 2.0 applications, using AJAX to implement desktop-like behavior. The integration and handling of such frameworks is a challenge, but ICEfaces is the first enterprise AJAX framework that places the integration aspect at the center of its design. All this is based on a programming model that does not need to write a single line of JavaScript.

You may already be aware that modern web applications are now more commonly modeled around desktop-like implementations. By following the development of a real-world application, you will see how best to use ICEfaces components to customize the interface layout, navigation, data presentation and data creation to achieve the efficient, modern, web application that you’ve always dreamed of!
